Where to Watch A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving: Streaming Options for the Peanuts Holiday Special

Get ready to kick off the holiday season with a classic favorite – “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.” This beloved Peanuts special first premiered back in 1965, and has since become a must-watch for families during the Thanksgiving season.

In this heartwarming 30-minute special, Peppermint Patty invites the Peanuts gang over to Charlie Brown’s house for a festive Thanksgiving celebration, complete with Snoopy and Woodstock’s own unique take on a Thanksgiving meal.

While “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” has traditionally been aired on CBS and ABC, things changed in 2020 when Apple acquired the rights to all Peanuts holiday specials, including this one. This means that the special will not be available on broadcast television this year, so you’ll need to turn to Apple TV+ to catch all the holiday fun.

To watch “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving,” you’ll need a subscription to Apple TV+. While there was a limited-time offer for non-subscribers to tune in on specific dates, that offer has since expired. Subscribing to Apple TV+ will give you access to not only “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving,” but also other Peanuts classics like “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” and “A Charlie Brown Christmas.”

So, grab the popcorn, cozy up on the couch, and enjoy this timeless Thanksgiving special with your loved ones. May your holiday season be filled with joy, laughter, and a little bit of Peanuts magic!
